hardwood care

Non sanding process:

Many people agree that there is nothing more beautiful than wood flooring; however, with normal use, the beauty and luster of your floor will eventually be diminished by scuffs, scratches, gouges and an overall dull and worn appearance.

Before the development of Rx For Wood Floors, your only option would have been to suffer the inconvenience of leaving your home during the sanding and refinishing process, as well as the high cost associated with conventional wood floor refinishing.

With Rx For Wood Floors system you now have another option. This award-winning technology allows you to have beautifully refinished floors with no messy sanding, and at about one-half the cost of having them sanded and refinished.

The secret is to catch wood floor finish problems early, before the bare wood shows through the finish. Then we can restore the original finished beauty the easy way with Rx For Wood Floors.

The Rx For Wood Floors Advantage:

  • Will not change the original floor color.
  • No sanding and No dust.
  • No special equipment required.
  • Low Odor-No special ventilation necessary.
  • Room is ready to use with in 24 hours.

Here's How It Works...

First the applicator will check for contaminants that would prevent adhesion. For example, if it is determined that there is wax on your wood floor finish, it would need to be removed. Then we begin the three step finishing process.

Step 1
Rx For Wood Floors no-sanding formula chemically "sands the floor." Just like sanding, this unique formula abrades the old finish to receive a beautiful new topcoat. It saves the hours, expense, and the mess of conventional sanding.

Step 2
Rx For Wood Floors repair products are utilized to make any necessary repairs to the surface of the floor before applying the final finish.

Step 3
Rx For Wood Floors unique catalyzed wood finish is applied and permanently locks with the original finish for an attractive, clear finish that lasts.

The next day, you'll be enjoying your newly restored floors, and enjoying the satisfaction of having saved lots of money with floors protected by a finish that's as tough and durable as it is beautiful.

General Hardwood Care

Prevention from Damages

  • DIRT and GRIT; Dirt, grit and sand are your hardwood floors worst enemies. They act like sandpaper on the finish, causing scratches, dents and dulling. Place floor mats at entrances to trap dirt and prevent damage.
  • WATER AND OTHER SPILLS; Standing water can warp a poorly finished hardwood floor and can damage the finish. Simply wipe up all spills as they happen.
  • USING HARD CLEANERS; Avoid oil soaps. They can build up and create problems when it's time to put a maintenance coat on the floor. Instead, neutral pH cleaners made specifically for wood floors are recommended.
  • FURNITURE MOVE AROUND; Lift the furniture to move it --- avoid dragging. Felt contacts under the legs will help prevent scratches.
  • DENTS; Vacuum with a brush attachment -- don't use vacuums with beater bars.
  • DIRECT EXPOSURE TO SUN; direct sun can discolor your hardwood floor. Close curtains and blinds or add sheer drapes to protect from the sun's intense UV rays.


Regular Care:
Canister vacuums with special bare floor attachments are the surest way to get rid of all the dirt and dust. Brooms with fine, exploded ends trap dust and grit effectively.

Maintenance Coat:
If you can't restore your solid hardwood floor's luster with deep cleaning or by simply buffing, you may want to apply a maintenance coat. Waxing is an easy way to restore your hardwood floor's natural beauty. Though a controversial treatment for surface finishes, floor polish or wax can give you a good-looking floor in a matter of minutes. Waxing may limit some refinishing and re-coating options down the road. If not properly stripped, the wax can cause adhesion problems when re-coating the surface. If you don't want to apply a wax to your surface finish, consult our professionals for suitable maintenance coat.

Floor Care Guide
With the proper care, your floors will stay beautiful for many years to come. Common sense and some preventative steps can lengthen the life of your floors. A regular cleaning routine will simplify your floor care. Good preventative maintenance lengthens the time between major renovations, such as re-waxing, re-coating and refinishing. Everyday dust and dirt are your floors worst enemy. It is essential to dust, mop, vacuum or sweep regularly. So, how do you keep your floors as beautiful as the day they were installed or refinished? Follow these easy steps and always use the manufacturers' recommended cleaning product.

When the air in your home becomes extremely dry, your floor will lose moisture and contract. Conversely, when humidity is high, your floor will absorb moisture and expand slightly. As humidity stabilizes, hardwoods regain their original dimensions. Air conditioning in summer and humidifying in winter will keep your home's humidity comfortable for you and your floor. Prolonged cycles of shrinking and swelling of your hardwood floor may result in squeaks. They can be easily corrected. In summer, when humidity is at its highest, it is absorbed by the wood which then expands. These variations can be minimized with proper ventilation, dehumidifying or heating. In winter, on the other hand, when the heating system is on, the relative humidity level in the house is much lower. It is then recommended to use a humidifier, in order to minimize extreme shrinkage effects

Regularly sweep or vacuum the floor to prevent sand or abrasive dust from accumulating and scratching the finish. Place doormats outside and rugs inside at every entrance of the house, again to prevent sand or abrasive dust from accumulating on the floor.

Place a rug in front of the kitchen sink, kitchen working stations, and the dishwasher to protect the floor from dropped kitchen accessories and from water or oily detergent spills. Use adequate floor protection (wood floor protector pads) under all furniture and chairs legs, in order to ease their movements and to prevent scratching the floor.

Protect your floor against direct sunlight or any intense source of artificial lighting. Over time, intense light will discolor exposed surfaces. This phenomenon with wood surfaces is normal and natural. The lighter the color of the natural wood, the more apparent this phenomenon will be. Keep "high heel" shoes in good condition. Damaged or worn high heels may expose a metal tip which will certainly damage your hardwood floor. Maintenance of Hardwood Floors

As with any wood floor, follow a program of cleaning, sweeping and vacuuming to eliminate as much dirt and grit as possible, and remember that moisture should not come in contact with the floor. If it does, it should be wiped up immediately.

Use dirt trapping mats at all exterior doors to keep dirt, sand, and grit outside. Use rugs at high traffic stations to reduce wear.

Always use manufacturers' recommended cleaning products, which won't leave a contaminating residue on the floor. If the manufacturer is not known, use a generic hardwood floor cleaner available at local retail wood flooring stores. Do not use oils, soaps, or wax products to clean your floor.

Most warranties from finish manufacturers and factory-finished wood flooring manufacturers are voided by use of oil soap cleaners.

Wipe up spills immediately with a lightly dampened cloth, then follow up with a recommended cleaning product.

For stubborn stains, lightly dampen a soft cloth with a manufacturer's recommended cleaner or a generic hardwood floor cleaner. Apply directly to the stain and repeat as necessary. Never mop your floor with water.

Never place potted plants directly in contact with your flooring, even if they are placed in waterproof saucers. Condensation can develop under these saucers and damage your flooring. To avoid this, place your plants on trivets or stands so that air can circulate underneath.

Dog and cat nails can scratch and dent your floor's surface. Keep nails trimmed regularly. Immediately clean up pet urine, as it will damage the floors' finish if left to dry. Use protective pads underneath all furniture legs that come in contact with the hardwood floor. Remove shoes with spikes or damaged heels before walking on the floor.

Use area rugs on high traffic pathways and pivot areas such as the ends of steps and near doorways. All rugs should allow floors to breathe. Avoid rubber-backed or non-ventilated rugs.

Wipe-up food or other spills immediately, using the manufacturers' recommended cleaner and a soft cloth. Use a vacuum or broom for dry spills and abrasives.

If using area rugs in the house, make sure to move them periodically, to ensure the UV rays don't unevenly fade or change the color of the wood and/or stain.
